these all seem complicated, any one know of a standard library for graphics. i wont to start off small, i dont need a stat-of-the-art graphics engine.

these all seem complicated
Graphics aren't easy stuff, at least not for beginners.

any one know of a standard library for graphics.
I don't think there is such a thing as a "standard graphics library".
I believe the most portable ones are Allegro and OpenGL.
Direct X is (IMO) great, but only for windows.
I started learning graphics in mode 13, there is a tutorial of this at http://www.brackeen.com/home/vga/index.html

I would recommend Allegro, although it was mentioned Magos' link. It's nice and simple for beginners (that's why I like it :P ), as long as you know the very basics of c/c++ you should be able to do a few things with it.
